BASKET OR PAIL FOR ACID-DIPPING.

Patented Sept. 1 '7, 1907.

Application filed August 24, 1906, Serial No. 331,846. Renewed August 2, 1907. Serial No. 386,764.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADoLr TEMPER, a citizen of the United States, residing at 68 Maiyer street, Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baskets or Pails for Acid-Dipping; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.

The present invention relates, generally, to improvements in that class of vessels, known in the art as acid baskets, in which metal articles of manufacture are placed for dipping in acid prior to the process of electro-plating such articles of manufacture. v

The principal object of this invention is to provide a metal basket of the general character hereinafter more fully set forth which shall be very light in weight, so as to be easily lifted without tiring the operator, and still have great strength, the basket being made from a metal, such as aluminium, which resists the deteriorating effects of the usual acids, such as nitric and sulfuric acids, or a mixture of such acids.

Other objects of this invention are the peculiar arrangements and constructions of the various parts which when assembled in the manner hereinafter more particularly described produce the novel acidbasket or pail embodying the principles of this invention.

Other objects of this invention not at this time more p this invention consists in the various novel arrangements and combinations of the parts, as well as in the E details of the construction of the same, all of which will be more fully described in the lfollowing specification, and then finally embodied in the clauses of the claims which are appended to and which form an essential part of this specification.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which 2- Figure l is a transverse vertical section of a basket or pail embodying the principles of my present invention; and Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional .representation ofthe same, said section being taken on line 2-2 in said Fig. l. Fig; 3 is an elevation of the -basket or pail, a portion of its handle and means of connection being represented in section; and Fig. 4 is a view of a portion of the upper part of the basket or pail and side View of one of the connecting posts with which the handle, indicated in dotted outline is attached.

.Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the above described views, to indicate corresponding parts.

Referring now to the said drawings, the referencecharacter 1 indicates the complete basket or pail, the same comprising a main body in which the articles which are to be acid-washed or dipped are placed. This body is made from sheet-metal aluminium and consists of a member 2, arranged preferably in cylindrical form, as shown, the sheet or member having its edges 3 and 4 made to overlap and then secured by means of pins or rivets 5. The upper marginal edge of said sheet or member 2 is made with an annular bead 6, and its lower marginal edge is inwardly turned, as at 7, so as to provide an annular shoulder 8, upon which is placed an aluminium disk or plate 9, the marginal edge of said disk conforming to the inner contour of the sheet or member 2. While the annular shoulder 8 forms a suitable and strong support for said disk 9, angle-irons 10, also aluminium, are used to secure the disk in position against upward displacement. Said angle-irons 10 are right-angled as shown, each anglemember being suitably perforated for the reception of pins or rivets 11 and 12 for securing the respective members of said angle-plates tothe disk 9 and said sheet or member 2, substantially as illustrated. The disk or base 9 is provided with suitably disposed holes or perforations 13, the sheet or member 2 also being provided with suitably disposed holes or perforations 14. Aluminium plates or bars l5t extend upwardly upon opposite sides of the body formed by the sheet or member 2, said plates being secured in their upright posi i tions by means of pins or rivets 16, and each plate having a curved portion 17 which is fitted around the bead G, as shown. Suitably secured between the upper endportions of said plates 15, by means of screws 18 is a rod 19, of wood or other suitable material, which as will be evident provides a handle for taking hold of the basket or pail for carrying the same, and for the purposes of dipping the basket or pail in the acid-solution, after the articles which are to be acid-dipped have been placed within the body of the device.

The purpose of the holes or perforations with which the sheet or member 2 and the disk 9 are provided, is to permit the acid-solution during the dipping operation to freely enter and percolate between the articles carried within the pail or basket, and then again pass from within the body of the latter after being withdrawn from the acid-bath by swinging or twirling the basket or pail from its handle.

As has been stated, the preferred metal used in the construction of the various parts of the device is aluminium because this meta-l is not attacked by the acids, and also gives great lightness for carrying purposes, with relation to increased volume thereby obtained.

I claim:

l. 'lhe herein described pail for acid-dipping comprising a sheet-metal aluminium body and an aluminium disk, said body and disk being provided with perfor-ations, aluminium plates extending upwardly from the opposite sides of said body, and a handle-member secured between the upper ends of said plates, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
